Man Utd Are Closing In On A Deal For Norwegian Talisman

According to reports, Manchester United have ‘made contact’ with Burnley centre-midfielder Sander Berge as they consider alternatives to Manuel Ugarte.

Having already signed Leny Yoro and Joshua Zirkzee for around £90m combined this summer, Man Utd are focusing on strengthening in other areas of the pitch.

PSG’s Manuel Ugarte was initially picked out as Man Utd’s leading target, but club chiefs have decided to look elsewhere after the Ligue Un giants refused to drop their asking price.

According to reports from the reliable Duncan Castle Man Utd have pulled the plug on Manuel Ugarte as PSG have always wanted €60m for Manuel Ugarte this summer.

However, a report from The Athletic claims Man Utd also have their eye on Burnley midfielder Berge, who suffered relegation at the end of last season.

The Norway international was previously linked with Big Six clubs after impressing for Sheffield United but left to join Burnley last summer for around £12m. The 26-year-old made 37 Premier League appearances last season, providing a goal and two assists.

Burnley are ready to sell for around £20m further reports claims, with concrete talks underway.
